Comment related questions on transformers.
Why transformer cores are laminated.
These are called eddy currents.
Why is the core of a transformer laminated.
The core is not designed to have any currents flow through it.
Why iron core is thin laminated in transformer.
Does it depend core size and material.
Reduce all above losses.
The purpose of providing an iron core in a transformer is to.
A transformer core is laminated to.
Laminated magnetic core reduces eddy currents.
Eddy current is induced in core and circulates normal to the width of the core causing heat.
To control it s weight regulate the energy loss due to eddy currents increase the formation secondary voltage.
It is however a conducting loop that experiences a changing magnetic field it will therefore have small current induced in it.
But a solid iron core has some own disadvantage due to to some losses.
The core of any transformer is laminated for the following reasons.
For this reason electrically isolated laminations are utilized to manufacture transformers.
The iron core transformer has higher permeability thus it is applied in transformer in place of air core in modern transformer.
Why a transformer core is laminated.
The core is laminated to reduce these to a minimum as they interfere with the efficient transfer of energy from the primary coil to the secondary one.

The eddy currents cause energy to be lost from the transformer as they heat up the core meaning that electrical energy is being wasted as unwanted heat energy.
Hello this question is related to my school project assignment i would like what happens when a core of transformer is laminated.
The figure below displays side view of transformer core where the eddy current flow in a solid and laminated core is indicated with red colored lines.
Reduce eddy current losses.
